APC ALLOCATES OFFICES Ahead of 2015, of the future of the All Peoples Congress, APC, is gradually taking shape as the road is now clear for former Head of State, General Mohammadu Buhari to emerge as the presidential candidate of the party following the deliberate omission of the Congress of the Progressive Change from clinching one of the top party offices of the merger arrangement. According to the document in the possession of the Sunday Mirror, the Action Congress of Nigeria, ACN got the juiciest positions in the APC, such as the National Chairman, National Legal Adviser, Deputy National Treasurer, Deputy National Youth Leader, two Vice Chairmen and two ex-officio members. The All Nigeria Peoples Party, ANPP was also awarded with the National Secretary, National Financial Secretary, Deputy National Organising Secretary, National Welfare Secretary, Deputy National Publicity Secretary, two Vice Chairmen and two exofficio members. While the Congress for Progressive Change, CPC, got the National Treasurer, Deputy National Chairman (North), Deputy National Secretary, Deputy National Legal Adviser, Deputy National Auditor, National Woman Leader, National Youth Leader, one Vice Chairman and one exofficio members’ positions. The All Progressive Grand Alliance, APGA was given the National Organising Secretary, Deputy National Chairman (South), Deputy Financial Secretary, Deputy National Woman Leader, one Vice Chairman and one ex-officio member’s post. The Democratic Peoples Party, DPP, got the National Auditor and Deputy National Welfare Secretary. A source who is a former governor from the North told Sunday Mirror that CPC could not get any of the major slots as it will likely produce the presidential candidate while the ACN will produce chairman of the Board of Trustees. General Buhari had in a recent interview said that though he will contest the 2015 election under APC but he may step down for a better candidate from the North. Sunday Mirror can confirm that northern candidates that may challenge Buhari for the sole ticket include former Presidential candidate of DPP and former governor of Sokoto State, Attahiru Bafarawa, former Presidential candidate of ACN, Nuhu Ribadu as well as the present Central Bank Governor, Sanusi Lamido Sanusi.
